In mild asthma, compliance and adherence to existing and efficient therapies are the main problem whereas in severe asthma, innovative treatments are the new challenges to better control the disease [3–5]. A new series on asthma is, therefore, very welcome in the European Respiratory Review in order to focus on specific areas discussed in recent findings. These series articles, written by expert opinion leaders, can be used to stimulate new ideas as well as provide new forms of management and treatment [6]. The articles deal with hot topics requiring balanced expertise and opinion. The experts will discuss new views on those important questions for researchers and physicians.

Genetic background is obvious but multiple genes are involved and have been shown to be influenced by environmental factors (epigenetics), even during the gestation period.
